Abstract: Systems and methods for transmitting supplemental content via an MoQ relay device are described herein. The MoQ relay device establishes a bi-directional connection with each of a publisher, a supplemental content server, and a client device. The MoQ relay receives a media stream via the bi-directional connection with the publisher, the media stream including a plurality of groups made up of objects. The MoQ relay then determines that an initial object of a particular group within the media stream corresponds to an insertion point for supplemental content and sends a request for supplemental content to the supplemental content server via the bi-directional connection. The MoQ relay subsequently receives the supplemental content and transmits the supplemental content to the client device via the bi-directional connection in place of the group corresponding to the insertion point.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for detecting and identifying hazardous material on a roadway and causing a vehicle to perform an action in response. The disclosed methods use one or more sensor devices (e.g., an IR camera) to capture data associated with material located within a surrounding environment of the vehicle. The detected material may be determined to be hazardous by analyzing an image of the material captured by the sensor devices. Based on a determined size and location of the hazardous material, the system may determine that a hazardous material event is imminent (e.g., an interaction between one or more vehicles and the material). The vehicle then performs an action to ameliorate the hazardous material event, such as implementing one or more suggested driving maneuvers to avoid an impact with the hazardous material and/or notifying nearby drivers of information related to the hazardous material event.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided herein for enabling end-to-end radio slicing between networks of different types. This may be accomplished by an access point receiving data traffic for a session. The data traffic may be received from a first device and may be destined for a second device, where the second device is part of a different licensed network than the first device or the second device is part of an unlicensed network. The access point may determine a performance metrics (e.g., a desired latency, a desired bandwidth, a desired jitter, etc.) associated with the session. The performance metric may be used to select a channel to transmit the data traffic to the second device. The access point may select a first channel of a plurality of channels based, at least in part, on an attribute associated with the first channel and the performance metric associated with the session.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for applying an extended reality (XR) effect to a portion of a video comprising a user. A video of a user in an environment is obtained via a camera of a user device. Infrared (IR) light is projected onto the user. IR light reflection data corresponding to the projected light reflected by an object being held by the user is detected. The IR light reflection data is compared to baseline profile data of the user. Based on the comparing, a position of the object is determined to be within a threshold proximity of the user and an XR visual effect is applied to a portion of the video comprising the user.

While the object is within a threshold proximity of the region, first feedback indicative of correct positioning based on the virtual tutorial is provided to the user. While the object is outside the threshold proximity, second feedback indicative of incorrect positioning based on the virtual tutorial is provided to the user. An XR visual effect is applied to a portion of the video comprising the user based on the position of the object.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed herein for enabling an improved management of a buffer resource of the device during a presentation of a content item, by improving user engagement with content via an adaptable interactive element. A first content item is caused, at a device, to be generated for presentation. Positional data defining a position of an interactive element when presented on the device is determined, wherein the positional data associates the position of the interactive element with a position of a content element presented in the first content item. The interactive element is caused, at the device, to be generated for presentation at a first position based on the positional data.

Abstract: Systems and methods for calendar-based management of QoS parameters of networks are disclosed. Calendar data from a digital calendar is used to identify a scheduled event which utilizes a priority application associated with network priority. A priority level of network service to support performance of the priority application on a device in the network during the scheduled event is determined. A reconfiguration request is transmitted to a networking device of the network. The reconfiguration request causes the networking device to adjust its network QoS parameters according to the priority level of network service and provide a network resource such as bandwidth according to the adjusted network QoS parameters to the priority application during the scheduled event. When the scheduled event has ended, the networking device is instructed to release the network resource.
